What with the hullabaloo about the upcoming presidummy's speech and the anticipation that he will call for an increase in troops in Iraq, there has been a certain amount of talk about how the Democrats should oppose this in some way, perhaps by voting to deny funding for such a "surge". Now, to get my views out of the way quickly, I firmly believe that sending any more troops is stupidity of a nearly criminal level, a move which indicates a total misunderstanding of what causes the violence in Iraq and how to deal with it. And, I believe that by not opposing such a move, the Democrats (the putative "opposition party") are tacitly endorsing it.

Yet it appears to me that according to many posts made before by Kos and many other posters on this site, that it is believed that we should just let them go ahead and throw more innocent American soldiers (not to mention enough money to create an entire national health care infrastructure) away into the undeniable "quagmire" that is America's folly in Iraq.

Find out why below the fold.

I'm sorry, Kos, but you're wrong about not impeaching the monster that currently lives in the White House. I usually agree with you on most things, but on this, you're just dead wrong.

You make a strong point as to why impeachment is a no-go in 2008; and on that, you're wrong. You make a strong point as to why we should get past it; and on that, you're wrong. You make a point that it we cannot do it because we don't live in a perfect world, and in that, you show so very precisely why you are so absolutely and incontrovertibly wrong about this.

I saw a diary earlier that pointed out this and I was driven to post my first diary out of absolute rage....

I'm sorry, Giuliani actually said that the root causes of terrorism were "oppressive governments that demagogue and blame and project their problems other places and do nothing to solve the problems of their own people" and someone actually said that sounded like the DEMOCRATS? What kind of psychotic partisan fuck could possibly believe that that phrase doesn't ENTIRELY describe the Republican party, at least the neocon-"American Taliban" wing that controls it currently?

Let's take this bit by bit:
